The Problem
In high-pressure operating room environments, medication errors can occur when drugs with similar appearances or packaging are stored near one another. In fast-paced and high-stress situations, healthcare professionals may inadvertently select the wrong medication, leading to potentially harmful consequences for patients. This proximity issue is compounded by the urgency of decision-making in critical care, where even a momentary lapse can have serious outcomes.
